Previous complaint of no start condition-dealer suggests new fuel pump at an estimated cost of 1000.00. i have determined that fix relates to a faulty gas cap. it puts the fuel system in a deep vacuum on a hot or warm restart, this part cost 6.60 at the local parts store. i can't believe that the dealer overlooked this and charged me 72.00 for a fuel pressure test and then tried to sell me a 1000.00 job by shotgunning in a part! *ak

Noticed gas gauge was dropping to empty when i had a full tank of gas. kept an eye on it and the problem became worse. now my gas gauge does not read at all. i can be on empty and it reads that i have more than a half tank left. severly times i have almost run out of gas due to this problem. i know have to watch my mileage and determine when i need to get gas.

Vehicle ran out of gas and lost power while driving. this occurred because of failures in the gas gauge and fuel pump system. gas gauge failed to read the correct fuel level in tank. this failure also caused the vehicle to fail state inspection.*ak *mr
